What if it Snows?

Being behind the wheel again felt soooooo good. Looking at that dash for the first time after almost two weeks off felt like seeing a old friend again. *Caution.... supertucker post to follow.

It was soooo comfortable..... it's what I'm good at...... it's what I do..... it's what I've always done....I missed it honestly.

I needed a break and thought I wasn't coming back but once I climbed up in that Columbia (bust my balls...I deserve it lol) it just felt right. There has been a lot of negativity surrounding me as far as trucking goes lately but I'm gonna do my part to keep it as right as I can per @MACK E-6 I shouldn't toot my own horn because that's when bad things happen and he's 200% right (the reason im this forum....to learn and get better every mile). I'm gonna go out there everyday and give it my all.....use my 20 years of safe driving to keep it that way. I'm going to days and I'm gonna run a merchandising route.....I'm hoping this turns out to be like being in a package car but with a big boy truck....the way I always looked at it. Wish me luck y'all...I wanna get back out there and run and I wanna drive the big truck..,...I think this might be it.

 

good to see you around swampy. keep on keepin' on brother.

 

Congrats FlaSwampRat...
There are times I think I should have done this 40 years ago. It just fits me.

 

I'm going to. I had a whole day of if you can't find em grind em lol. Man day one back was rough....i mulched more gears than day one lol. It was great tho, I didn't even get frustrated....in a hour I was back to normal. The only thing I wish I could have done was pull wiggle wagons....I feel superior to everyone else when I do that. I'm calling myself out as a supertucker so feel free to jump on and bust my balls lol. Pulling a 48' lift gate had to do lol. I was blindsiding the #### out everything and making it more difficult than it had to be just to prove to myself I know what I'm doing. I put a 48 can load blindside in-between two 53's with no room up front and hit the dock try #1. It was tight but not anything that anyone else could have done but doing it the hard way felt right.

 

I know my past few posts have been supertucker as #### but I don't even care and will take the heat for it. Why did any of us start driving these big fyckers? I did because I seen a career path that aligned with the biggest baddest things I seen on the road. Granted it's changed a lil in those 30 years but I am one of those gear jamming bad ##### now lol. I know pretty much everyone can say that but I like to think my safety record is what will make others see me as a professional.

 

lol...sounds like you got a handle on 'er. had a close call on tuesday that had me questioning my career choice, but I'm over it now. #### happens, and life goes on lol

 

@Troy_ I'm glad you pushed me over the edge to buy the road king. Don't get this twisted....I have nothing but love for my sporty and always will... incredibly underrated bikes if you ask me. The Tampa Trash Boat (my bike lol....that's what my wife calls it) is what a motorcycle is supposed to be. My only ##### with it is the floorboards...I'm used to forward controls.... it's not a bad thing...just different. I've put almost 5k miles on it in a month.... it's a keeper.

 

I resisted going to a touring bike for years. once I threw a leg over and spent some time on one I knew why people loved them. it ain't all about speeding around for that rush of adrenaline, something to be said for that slow growly ride and gobs of torque while enjoying the scenery. it is pleasing!

 

Tampa Trash Boat made me LOL!

 

And it's a negative media circus if that happens in the real world.
